Homily | June 30, 2026 | Why A Loving God Allows Hard Seasons | (Episode 180)

Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

We challenge the idea that God’s love should make life easy, and we show why hardship can be a form of correction rather than rejection. We connect Amos and the storm at sea to a single question that every crisis asks us: will we trust Christ when the waves rise? 
• the hidden belief that a good life should feel easy 
• Amos on correction as a sign of love 
• suffering as a wake up call aimed at conversion 
• “Prepare to meet your God” as a crisis moment 
• Jesus asleep in the storm and why it feels unsettling 
• the order Jesus uses: calming the heart before the weather 
• why obedience does not spare us from storms 
• the promise of the Gospel: Christ is in the boat
